control their own destinies. florida state. arizona state beats notre dame. only 5 teams that don't need the committee's help. >> verne: third and 5. lsu 7 of 15 on 3rd down conversions. jennings got it. doral. 1st down lsu. >> gary: they have been throwing the fades against the bump and run technique. they put the stop on against it. doral remember. he is their go-to guy. 3rd down he is almost the same for lsu as amari cooper is. he is not to his level yet.

>> verne: mcgee. stiff arm. nick perry number 27 made the tackl tackle. a fine run for mcgee. >> gary: you called it. the face mask. straight arm. >> verne: old-fashioned football. >> gary: didn't grab it, though. >> verne: no. 10:35 to go. mcgee goes right. neighbors with another block from the fullback position. robinson with the tackle. the ground of 102,000 plus on hand. saturday night in death valley. the rennovation of this stadium

added 9,000 fetus. -- seats. it's splendid. >> gary: closed in now. >> verne: and les miles as a head coach, 46 and 3 on saturday night here in those 3 losses were florida, number 1, and alabama number 1. and mississippi state number 1. >> gary: they will push and past. effectively those plays continue to mount up for lsu. continue to run the ball. oh, does collins do a nice job of helping and coming off and blocking depriest. >> verne: lsu moved from its own 8th to a 1st down now at the 47

yardline. >> gary: lsu obviously they can care down anybody by doing this. >> verne: williams. ragland. >> gary: he has to eat up tackles by ragland. running left. picked up well. >> verne: williams getting a lot of time tonight. look at the selection sunday: 48 runs and 19 passes. not, that that is unexpected. >> gary: ran 51 times against kentucky and 55 times against ole-miss. >> verne: they are over170 yards

tonight. williams. >> gary: as you get close to 200 yards. there is an interesting stat. lsu is 1 and 2 when they rush less than 195 yards. they lose if they don't run the ball for 195 yards. alabama has only given up 195 yards once in the auburn game last year. >> verne: third and 6 here. jennings has to protect the football as he goes down. dixon and pettway. >> gary: the pocket collapsed because of great coverage in the secary.

cyrus jones shut off the pass. >> verne: that brings up 4th and 10. christian jones back to return the punt of keehn. sideline warning i believe against alabama. keehn with the 7th punt of the night. >> [whistle blowing]. >> verne: jones with the fair catch. there is some banging going on tonight.

>> now our geico game recap. >> verne: first score of the night. jennings into the corner. dupre initially called out of bounds. reviewed and ruled a touchdown. amari cooper big first half tonight. more quiet in the second. the alabama touchdown. this tied it at 7. griffith had missed one earlier, but this broke the tie and took us to halftime. the only scoring in the second half is the 35 yard field goal by koby delahoussaye. amari cooper has gone 2947 yards. that's a school record in his junior year. >> gary: well, this is such a huge drive for alabama.

plays in in half. 35 for lsu and just 6 for alabama. it doesn't look like they can run the ball. even the play selection for alabama is odd. 19 rushes and 32 passes. when do you remember a select like that, but it appears this is the the way they can move the ball. >> verne: quarterback draw. blake sims out to the 13 yardline. collins number 32 makes the tackle. 6:40 to go. see what lane kiffin will dial up on this play. cooper top of the screen. yeldon gets the hand-off. >> gary: there are those cuts again. >> verne: boy, or boy, dropped

by rasco. a gain of 11. >> gary: just economy of emotion. never seems ouchls. off balance. ever since that turnover against lsu 2 years ago, he's been a tlorn in the side of lsu but not as big tonight. >> verne: that for alabama, is the first 1st down of this half. 1st and 10. behind amari cooper. back to new york. >> adam: number 4 oregon going for it on 4th and goal. marcus mariota under pressure. zips it across his body. 14-7 ducks. the buckeyes are up in the 4th quarter if east lansing. >> verne: 2nd down and 10 here.

>> [crowd noise]. >> verne: cooper gets a great block. cut the quarterback town. >> gary: collins did a nice job of making that tackle. i thought cooper could split outside and go for it. watch number 32 get knocked down and reach up and make the tackle. a wonderful play by collins on that one. blocked and gets back up and makes it. i thought we were going to see cooper right down the sideline. >> verne: 3rd and 6. >> gary: oh missed him badly. >> verne: 4th down. >> gary: either the receiver broke it off or blake threw it poorly. the communication between the quarterback and the receiver was

not there. the ball is to the outside. just a lack of communication. cohesion in the passing game is not there. >> verne: scott to punt on 4th and 6. whites up at the 25 yardline. punt return all the way for lsu. he makes the catch. bobbles it for a moment. breaks off the tackle. it is dropped at the 33 yardline. mazza that's his third tackle tonight. >> gary: it's just a joy to watch these games because there are so many plays that can make plays. event on special teams.

yardage. both teams have all 3 timeouts. remember, lsu's field goal kicker made a 50 yarder to beat florida. fall falls. >> verne: fournette. boy, oh boy. >> gary: hit it from about 10 yards deep, did collins. >> verne: collins from the new orleans area. as is fournette. >> gary: he is a much more comfortable football player in this type of game than in matching up in man-to-man. he likes to come downhill and make physical football plays. >> verne: 3rd and 4 at the 4 minute mark. >> gary: will they run anthony

jennings? that's been their best play. >> verne: dropped. >> gary: that's a big drop. that ball should have been caught. quinn is in the game for one reason: to make this play. he is a slot receiver. number 8. they are seth him up for a 1st down. you have to catch that ball. you just have to make that play. he is in the game as a poage receiver. they set him up. perfect throw. coaching staff and everybody did their job and he doesn't. >> verne: 4th down with 3:45 to go. keehn with the punt. out of bounds at the 25. mark it 24.

sims scrambles out. collins who has had a wonderful football game sticks with his man andic mas the defensive play. >> verne: scott on to punt. that's the 7th 3 and out tonight. this one is short. very ineffective punt, but it does come to a stop with no return. 39 yard punt. scott has had an inconsistent night. 2 minutes and 40 seconds to go. in the fourth quarter in death valley. stella: amazing annc: the rush of driving a mustang ... raymond: oh...ho, ho, ho... annc: ...felt like never before. jay: i could happily, probably cry right now.

5 minutes to go. lsu won that one, 10-7. >> gary: that sets it up. i said a few minutes ago that the lsu team didn't think blake sims would beat them throwing the ball. especially his inability to throw it downfield. i believe alabama thinks the same thing. let's see what happens. >> verne: mcgee is the running back. jennings pressure. is that caught or trapped? i think it was trapped. >> gary: he got hit. jennings did when he let that ball go. i think it was pettway that hit him just as helet that ball go. that's the reason it was short and didn't get there. i think it was 57, pettway. >> verne: yes. >> [whistle blowing]. >> verne: time has been called.

imcomplete pass. harris warming up again. >> gary: verne, people sometimes don't appreciate the skill level of defenses. remember the 2011 game that everybody said was so boring? well, 16 of those players on defense were drafted in the nfl. i would assume we are looking at the next wave of players being drafted. great players on defense make games look like this. >> verne: i read the criticism of that 9-6 game. it was great. play clock at 4. >> gary: lsu had to take a timeout.

>> verne: harris. anthony jennings. and the play clock. starts at 2:34. >> gary: instead of a 40 second clock, it's a 25 second clock.

jennings didn't know the play. >> verne: mckie the running back. -- mcgee the running back. 2nd down and 10. lsu now with 2 timeouts. harris pulls it out. down the sideline. >> [whistle blowing]. >> gary: i think once lsu took a timeout. jennings could have came in. the decision was to leave in harris because he is a superior faster runner. they wanted to go one play and get around the edge and come back with jennings. very interesting. >> verne: now 3rd down and 3. 2:19. clock running. 3 wide left. mcgee goes wide out. imcomplete. oh. again it's dropped by quinn.

>> gary: this was a tough catch. fading away from him. well, the more i watch it, the more i agree with you. yeah. he should have had that ball. >> verne: instead a punt. keehn. christian jones. gets away from it. watch this. >> [cheers and applause]. >> verne: jones at the 1. >> gary: every year there is always a special teams play, whether it's a fake or return or great punt that determines it. boy, his momentum, they stopped it right. there his momentum was going. i am spried he got that call.

i really am. i am shocked to tell you the truth. >> [very loud crowd noise]. >> verne: under 2 to go. they feed yeldon. >> gary: we showed you at halftime how alabama had struggled to throw the ball more than 10 yard. well, that's still the story. look at. that not one deep ball. nothing beyond 10 yard. most of them 5 yards or less. >> verne: for a moment my mind went back to last year's iron

bowl. mccarron to cooper for 99 yards in the fourth quarter. yeldon. fumble! ball out. lsu's got it. >> [cheers and applause]. >> verne: beckwith recovered it. that's the 11th lost fumble this year. by alabama. it has plagued them. >> gary: he came in with a tweaked ankle and kneechlt that ankle, he felt the same twinge he had before and just gave up the ball. you could see the pain caused the fumble.

>> verne: was the knee down? no it was not. >> gary: and neither was the shin. that will stand. you will see it's the pain. there was a question about how healthy t.j. yeldon was. the pain caused the fumble. >> verne: helped to the sideline am 1:13 to go. lammar lewis made the pick. they are reviewing. the ball is out. beckwith recovered it. >> referee: the ruling on the

field is a fumble recovered by lsu. >> [cheers and applause]. >> referee: that play is under further review. this is a booth initiated challenge. >> verne: you called lewis on the tackle. watch him shown o.j. howard on the play. first he stones the tight end. and then he makes the tackle. he led this game being physical being real man football. and lewis took it to o.j. howard. >> verne: yeldon helped to the bench. that is the first turnover for alabama tonight. >> gary: you can see him

wincing. >> verne: absolutely. >> gary: remember, alabama has all 3 timeouts. can they hold lsu to a field goal? they would get the ball back with about 50 second to go. >> referee: the ruling on the field is confirmed. >> [cheers and applause]. >> verne: 2 years ago here mccarron found yeldon for a screen pass that gave alabama the win. tonight yeldon's fumble might give lsu the win. >> gary: and alabama is 11th in the sec in turnovers. >> verne: nothing on that play. mcgee is still battling. a flag!

>> gary: oh! and a silly one too. this better be a real one. the officials don't want to decide this game. if it's the success guy pushing, i will be a little upset. this is the time the officials should not have rabbit ear or eyes. >> referee: after the play unsportsman-like conduct number 74. lsu. 15 yard penalty. 2nd down. >> verne: alexander number 74. left guard. >> gary: there he is in the middle of it. they are pulling on the guy.

he tries to pull and push. he gets the call. it's against robinson. robinson had his hand in there and alexander react to it. like what are you doing? robinson sells it. come on! i have to be honest. i really don't like that call. >> verne: time called. 1:07 to go. the last 6 years, fourth quarters: 3838 third pass interception of the game. 2009 peterson intercepted. 2010 to mcelroy. 2011 reid in a great
